Default Before and After TFS Porting

Here's a look at how we receive our TFS castings and what they look like after port work.

For those that don't know we receive them in a porter's casting (raw), and then run our port program through the heads which you'll see in the second image.







For anyone looking to upgrade to a set of TFS cylinder heads with the Frankenstein port program in the cat port version, we have two options.

TFS 237cc = $2900
TFS 254cc = $3250

Do you have before and after flow numbers on say, 243 heads or any heads for that matter. I would really like to see the difference porting makes compared to stock.

07NBSChevy,


Here you are:


BEFORE AFTER


Int: Int:
0.100 = 61 0.100 = 66
0.200 = 127 0.200 = 127
0.300 = 188 0.300 = 226
0.400 = 230 0.400 = 263
0.500 = 250 0.500 = 294
0.600 = 256 0.600 = 304
0.700 = 240 0.700 = 309


Exh:
0.100 = 50 0.100 = 56
0.200 = 104 0.200 = 108
0.300 = 140 0.300 = 150
0.400 = 162 0.400 = 176
0.500 = 170 0.500 = 208
0.600 = 177 0.600 = 221
0.700 = 182 0.700 = 228

Any flow numbers on the 237cc? My 215s have been great from TEA (5+ years) and man the numbers still amaze me. Just always curious what a bigger head would do on my current setup.

So, if we take a set of Trick Flow heads that Trick Flow CNC ported and compare them to yours, what differences are we looking at?
